3) Sweet tooth? What’s your favorite candy?

Fair Trade Chocolate.....

4)Ice cream…..chocolate or strawberry, and why?

I like Rocky Road or Jamoca Almond Fudge, each with nuts...because if you're gonna eat ice cream, nuts are very nutritious and denies all guilt ....

5) “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, classic film or Johnny Depp re-make….and why?

I love them both.....The original because of the wild effects from back in the old days....painting small people Orange ! And I love the new one because, it's even more sinister and subversive than the book......

It's Earth Day...again

So........For Earth Day I re-read Ecotopia

...Did you know Nixon signed the Clean Water Act, The Clean Air Act, The Endangered Species Act, and started the EPA ?? That was way back in the 70s when Republicans thought that a clean environment was good for everyone, and a conservative value ! The party left me, I didn't leave it...so, I'm not a fan of neo-con Republicans who think of nothing but war and money for themselves. Shame shame shame.

On May 4, 1970, OHIO NATIONAL GUARDSMEN opened fire on American citizens--anti-war protesters at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others. On that day, my baby girl was 3 months-old, and we had just marched a few weeks earlier on the first Earth Day.
Which is what I say on my ME page on ebay .....
your new god, Kunstler says: Go plant a garden. And learn some handicrafts.
mmmm like sewing, or knitting, or at the very least,
Stay the Hell outta the Mall........and stop buying new useless crap.....from china.from where ever. You went to college. Use that brain !!! challenge the dominant paradigm ! my college grad class motto......Be The Change You Wish To See.....

Kunstler says a lot of things that us Old Hippies (well I'm a flower child...big difference) have been saying for Decades.
What if the energy programs.......we started in the 70s were still in practice today ?? 25 years of energy conservation....wind energy...solar energy....trains....buses......fewer children....less materialism.......what would your world look like today....and our heroes were folks like the Nearings.....no, it wasn't a paradise.....but it was a good start......Look what was accomplished with a Republican president.....

Also, Mark and I reread........the writings of William Morris......you know the Wallpaper guy........our favorite.......

Useful Work v. Useless Toil

Read this, and you will understand the way of the future....back to the future.......
And I have a few links for greeny living......it's kinda hard to change...but bit by bit......
oh yeah, buy a used copy of Take Back Your Time Day.... Handbook........

IN the shop....Motorcycle...T shirts...Fun stuff...

Thanks for the publicity

When Alan Gorsuch was sued for fraud and misrepresentation in 1999 in the Titanic boat ticket auction, one of the reasons why he was found guilty of fraud and misrepresentation was that it was seen that he misrepresented the possible value of the ticket.
The man who originally sold the ticket to Alan had no clue what the possible value might be. Alan allowed the man to "name his price". He did. Alan auctioned the ticket.
Made bank. Big Big Bank.
How to judge if something was a case of fraud is that a buyer of the widget has to prove they did the best they could to give the seller of the widget a fair price. The court found Alan didn't do that.

When I was taking law classes, in my Litigation class, we studied the Gorsuch case as one that is so Crystal clear about what constitutes legal fraud.

I think about this all the time. I buy stuff. But unlike Gorsuch, I have little expertise in anything but crackpots, liars and vintage clothes.
Oh, I also know a lot about children, gardening, and marriage.
I know a lot about loyalty.
I know a lot about Good Faith.

Rampart.

So after the auction, I met my lovely husband and the effervescent Kelly who did attend and buy a dead man's stuff. I have to say that from time to time. Steve is dead. I danced and sang karaoke last night at the Silverstone, and just missed a crying jag. Also, stayed quite sober (a first for me!)
So..

This is the perfect portrait to illustrate that which was Steve. No wait....This does.

this was Steve. Focused on the penis and hilarious commenter of the passing parade of 2 faced hypocrites. He knew bullshit, was full of bullshit ,and, my favorite. Called bullshit on bullshit.
He used to ask us what Grapes of Wrath car did we drive into Tacoma today.......each time we came up to see him. Funny, Steve. And, um true.
We drive pieces of crap. because we are not materialistic and we are not defined by what we drive. Other than,obviously....we are not materialistic and we are not defined by what we drive.

So,while I was up in Steve's 3rd floor lair, I kept looking at all the stuff we sold him over the years. I kept staring at the bed. To erase the picture of the scene on that terrible day in February, I just kept the good times in my head.
How many times had Steve and Mark and I lolled around on the bed, watching movies, drinking, laughing and cutting up.

It's kinda funny to hear Steve being discussed....I know who knew him. I know who hated him. I'm sure he's looking up/down and laughing and making fun of you.
But not me. He knows Mark snagged the penis. And one of the last perfect "poems" Steve wrote to stupidity and alacrity and mendacity that men do.

Portraits of Your Lifestyle Chinesed Children

A Sculptural Rumination on the Post-Modern Family

What happens when the poison in your children's China-made toys infiltrates your uterus and sperm......

Did you give birth to a child or a pet?

Because you wanted to save money, and didn't read the label, your home is full of poison in the toys from China. Your children play with them. And injest the poisons. And so do you. Are you sure you want another child? Would you be better off to adopt? From China? Why do you want a child? Would you be better off with a pet? What kind of food will you feed it? Food made from Chinese ingredients?
